of 2025
Usual service is resumed after some health issues, I wasn’t allowed to do anything strenuous lifting or anything that strained my stomach, this also included washing up, hoovering, making tea or housework. I was told all these things by the surgeon, who failed to mention getting beaten about the head.
The workshop is a little bit chilly after a lot of very mild autumn days, first fire of the autumn/winter season.
I did a little bit of throwing, but found it hurt , so I made some plates using the moulds that I made pre op instead.
Luckily my pugger has a vacuum pump which takes the need for kneading out of the preparation . I decided to roll out slabs on the slab roller. Using machines to do the hard work is a basic human thing.
All the pots were taking ages to dry but did manage to fill a kiln for bisque.
I would like to finish by wishing everyone a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year .
